在读后续写过程中,在沿用原文语言特点的原则下,围绕原文主旨,
运用丰富的词汇和语句,在恰当描述人物外貌的基础上,可以对人物的
性格等做一些相应的扩展或者辅助性的描绘,从而丰富续写情节,进一
步提升续写语篇的可读性。

一、外貌描写范本及赏析
As time went by, he began making films. He grew more
and more popular as his charming character, the little tramp,
became known throughout the world. The tramp, a poor,
homeless man with a moustache, wore large trousers, worn-
out shoes and a small round black hat. He walked around
stiffly carrying a walking stick. This character was a social failure
but was loved for his optimism and determination to
overcome all difficulties. He was the underdog who was kind
even when others were unkind to him.

【赏析】这是人教版高中英语教材中关于人物外貌描写的典型片段。
本片段详细描写了卓别林所塑造的典型的银幕形象——流浪汉。作者
通过描述流浪汉的外貌特征、着装、动作特点以及性格特征把卓别林
所塑造的流浪汉栩栩如生地展现在读者面前,片段最后简短的人物评价
也使小流浪汉在读者眼中的形象变得高大。因此,我们在描写人物时,
也可以抓住人物的外貌特征和动作特点,并适当地添加人物评价。

二、外貌、性格描写的3个原则
1.注意区分描写对象的性别和年龄差异,用词准确。
2.抓住“五官”特点,写出人物的面部特征,可以适当添加动作描述。
3.适当运用倒装、从句等高级语法结构,尝试使用比喻、夸张、联想
等修辞手法。
(一)外貌描写
(1)她圆圆的脸上有一双蓝色的眼睛,还有两个可爱的酒窝。
①On her round face are a pair of blue eyes and two lovely
dimples. (倒装句型)
读后续写微技能
②She is a girl with a pair of blue eyes and two lovely
dimples on her round face. (with引导的介宾结构作后置定语,补充
说明人物特征)

(2)李老师三十多岁,中等身材,常梳着马尾辫。
①Miss Li is in her thirties with a medium build and often has
her hair in a ponytail. (由and连接的并列谓语;with短语用作后置定
语)
②Miss Li is a medium-sized woman in her thirties who often
wears/ties her hair in a ponytail. (定语从句,补充说明人物特征)
③Miss Li, in her thirties, is of medium size, and often has her
hair tied in a ponytail. (“be of+adj.+n.”结构,表示人或物具有某种
特征。常用的名词有:size, height, weight, build, age, shape等)

(二)性格描写
(1)Such is Ms Han, an easygoing, kind and warm-hearted
woman.
韩女士是一个随和、善良又热心肠的女人。
(2)Though he comes from a poor family, he is a person of
great determination and courage.
他虽出身贫寒,但拥有坚强的意志和勇气。

三、外貌、性格描写注意事项
1.外貌描写重点在于五官与体型的描写
采用多种表达方法, 对人物进行“从上到下”的细致刻画,包括面部表情、
发型装扮、身体状况、年龄等,例如:
(1)Looking at his weather-worn face, I was surprised. 看着他饱经
风霜的脸,我很吃惊。
(2)She is of medium height, very slim, but her face is as white
as snow.
她中等身高,很瘦,但是她的脸像雪一样惨白。
读后续写微技能
分析:(1)句中的weather-worn face表示“饱经风霜的脸”;(2)句中的
medium height表示“中等身高”,as white as snow表示“脸色惨白”。
这两句中,通过扩展对人物外貌的修饰,达到了增加描写的作用。
读后续写微技能
2.性格描写要细致突出人物的情绪
对于人物的性格描写,一定要突出人物的个性,尽量避免用过于笼统的
词,而应该采用相对细致入微的词汇或句式,来对人物进行“个性化”描
写,例如:
(1)He is good-time Charlie, feeling no worries and anxieties. 他
是乐天派,从不担忧。
(2)Jerry is a self-possessed man, whose face never betrays his
emotions.
杰里是个沉着冷静的人,从不喜形于色。
读后续写微技能
分析:(1)句中,用good-time Charlie来描述他的乐观,用词要比
optimistic更加形象;而(2)句中,用self-possessed和never betrays his
emotions来细致描述杰里的个性,体现细节描写对人物个性的刻画。
读后续写微技能
3.描写外貌和性格时,可以多采用并列式表达
在进行人物外貌和性格描写时,不一定是单一性的描写,而可以采用并
列式或递进式的表达方式。例如:
The fire light showed a pale, square-jawed face with keen eyes,
and a little white scar near his left eyebrow.
火光映照出他苍白的面庞,方正的下巴,敏锐的双眼,左眉附近有一块小
的白色疤痕。
分析:本句在描写人物外貌时,采用了with和and的伴随以及并列结构,
使得表达更加丰富。

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成
一篇完整的短文。
In today's world, where negativity often takes centre stage,
it's easy to overlook the simple acts of kindness that can bring
joy to someone's life. I recently had a personal experience that
reminded me of this during a particularly challenging week.

My week had been filled with problems, from work-related
stress to unexpected bills and broken items. By the time I
needed to go to the store for a few essentials, I was already
feeling overwhelmed and at my breaking point. Despite my
desire to just go home and relax, I made the trip across town
to the store.
When I arrived, I found the parking lot packed, which only
added to my frustration. To make matters worse, the person
next to my intended parking spot seemed to think their small

car was entitled (有资格) to take up two spaces. After finally
finding a spot, I realized that I had left my purse, including my
debit card (借记卡) and checkbook (支票簿), at home.
Fortunately, I had a small amount of cash and my coupon
(优惠券) book, so I decided to go inside and make the best of
it.
The store was bustling with people, but I managed to find
the items I needed and got in line to check out. However, the
line seemed to move at a snail's pace, and my patience was

wearing thin. As I waited, I couldn't help but feel my stress
levels rising.
That's when I noticed an old lady standing behind me in
line. She seemed to sense my anxiety and cast a kind smile at
me. I awkwardly returned the smile and continued to wait. After
a seemingly endless wait, it was finally my turn to check out.

【思路点拨】本文以人物为线索展开,作者的生活很不顺利,到处
都是问题。作者到超市买东西时,发现没带钱包,只有一些现金和
优惠券,当作者购买好东西,因为结账队伍缓慢移动,作者的耐心
逐渐耗尽,压力不断上升。就在这时,作者注意到身后一位老太太,
她似乎察觉到了作者的焦虑,投来一个善意的微笑。作者尴尬地回

【详解】
1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“然而,接下来发生的事情出乎我的意料。”可知,
第一段可描写作者准备结账时发现带的钱不够了以及作者的反应。
②由第二段首句内容“正当我准备回去取更多的现金时,我突然感到
有人拍了拍我的肩膀。”可知,第二段可描写身后的老太太给作者钱
帮作者付账以及作者的感激之情。
2. 续写线索:发现钱不够—感到尴尬—准备回去取钱—老太太给作
者钱—表达感激之情—决心帮助他人传递善良。

One possible version:
However, what happened next was out of my expectation.
As the cashier scanned my items, I discovered that the total
cost exceeded the amount of cash I had on hand.
Embarrassment and confusion filled me as I attempted to
explain my situation to the cashier, who seemed increasingly
frustrated. Meanwhile, the patience of the people waiting
behind me in line started to run out. Just when I thought
things couldn't get any worse, a feeling of hopelessness started

more money.
As I was about to return for more cash, I suddenly felt a
tap on my shoulder. It was the elderly woman who had been
standing behind me in line. With a warm smile, she handed
me some money and reassuringly said, “Don't worry, dear.
We all have tough days.” Her kindness deeply touched me, and
I thanked her with all the sincerity I could muster before
paying for my items. As I left the store, I felt a profound

sense of gratitude and realized that even the smallest acts of
kindness can have a significant impact on someone's day.
This simple gesture of goodwill truly brightened my spirits, and
it inspired me to pay it forward by helping others whenever
I can.
